Weather permitting.<br />I have made two crochet shrug type cardigans in the last few weeks and I am knitting two different cardigans as well. The white Habitat cardigan I made was from a free pattern &nbsp;by&nbsp;<a href="https://makeanddocrew.com/habitat-cardigan-beginner-crochet-sweater-part-1/" target="_blank">Make&amp; Do Crew</a>&nbsp;and it is very beginner friendly. As is the second shrug I made Light Frost Blanket sweater by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mamainastitch.com/light-frost-easy-blanket-sweater-crochet-pattern/" target="_blank">Mama in a Stitch</a>&nbsp;.<br />See you all on Wednesday<br />Cinna<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://images4-b.ravelrycache.com/uploads/Cinnaknits/496160671/5D93F108-461E-4A7B-BCB4-D991C65D6331_medium2.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="380" height="320" src="https://images4-b.ravelrycache.com/uploads/Cinnaknits/496160671/5D93F108-461E-4A7B-BCB4-D991C65D6331_medium2.jpeg" width="190" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://images4-b.ravelrycache.com/uploads/Cinnaknits/499207977/D1F9AB7E-5659-446E-94E0-B7C89C74CEF4_small2.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="240" data-original-width="320" src="https://images4-b.ravelrycache.com/uploads/Cinnaknits/499207977/D1F9AB7E-5659-446E-94E0-B7C89C74CEF4_small2.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />Cinnaknitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18316756450845530514noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088232060323380092.post-57279433061811710422017-11-05T07:40:00.001-04:002017-11-05T07:40:40.122-04:00UpdateHello and Welcome<br />What a lovely few hours knitting at June’s last Wednesday. Even though June was away we had a lovely time. There was a lot of conversation and knitting and crocheting going on.<br />&nbsp; &nbsp;This Wednesday we will meet at the Reads in Riverview parking lot at 6pm to head to Salisbury for &nbsp;dessert and coffee and a bizarre. We will be meeting at Reads in Riverview on Wednesday the 15th and 22nd of this month at 6pm.<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; I am slogging away on my <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/margarets-gift" target="_blank">Margaret’s Gift </a>sweater and finishing a pair of socks.<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; Spinning retreat this year was quite wonderful and I’m so Happy that it will be at the <a href="https://roddvacations.com/hotels/rodd-miramichi-river/" target="_blank">Rods Inn</a>&nbsp;Miramichi next October.<br />Be Well and Happy Knitting<br />CinnaCinnaknitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18316756450845530514noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088232060323380092.post-44033449966542408692017-10-07T08:15:00.002-03:002017-10-07T08:15:44.621-03:00It's a New DayHello Friends<br />Well what a summer!<br />Our little knitting group took the summer off and I was so grateful for the break as my neck pain had grown so terrible I found it difficult to even read. My doctor retired and it was a few months before the new doctor was open and after an X-ray she suggested physiotherapy. Yeah! I have been going to Cameron at&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tidewaterphysio.com/contact_us.html" target="_blank">Tidewater Physiotherapy</a>&nbsp;since the first week of September and my neck pain is almost entirely gone! It's such a relief to be able to do things once again. You can't imagine.<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; My synthroid is also been changed and I find that my interest in my hobbies has increased along with the increase dosage. Hyper/hypothyroidism is such an individually symptomatic disease that the best way for me to describe what it feels like, at least in my case, is to ask you to imagine being so exhausted after doing a minor task that you need to nap for two hours. Also that going almost anywhere causes so much anxiety that you just want to stay home. Of course people don't know that you feel that way because let's face it your too anxious to tell people.<br />&nbsp; &nbsp;Yes indeed change. Lots of change.<br />&nbsp; &nbsp;My friend Heidi Wulfraat of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thewoolworks.com/" target="_blank">HW WoolWorks</a>&nbsp;has closed her physical studio here and is opening a studio in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia. I will miss her beautiful smile and visiting her and her wonderful shop. She is such a lovely and talented person and I wish her so much happiness and success in her new venture.<br />&nbsp; &nbsp;Our little group is meeting once again every two weeks or so from 5:30pm to 8pm at 197 Buckingham Place in the meeting room,courtesy of our friend June, on the following dates; October 18th, November 1st and 29th. See you there.<br />CinnaCinnaknitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18316756450845530514noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088232060323380092.post-30717140136282782702017-07-28T06:45:00.001-03:002017-07-28T06:45:36.330-03:00Gypsy Petticoat<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RizkEa8arZQ/WXsHwc_Ql5I/AAAAAAAACgM/1emua3mYY3k9cJTektcv4VCbomHVv3ajwCK4BGAYYCw/s1600/20170426_175652-736331.jpg"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RizkEa8arZQ/WXsHwc_Ql5I/AAAAAAAACgM/1emua3mYY3k9cJTektcv4VCbomHVv3ajwCK4BGAYYCw/s320/20170426_175652-736331.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_6447755820507633554" /></a></p><div dir="auto">Here is a mash up of Stephenie Dosen&#39;s Gypsy Petticoat pattern from Knitscene magazine Sept 2012 issue, page 83.

/></a></p>While I&#39;m at home laid up with the most wicked of ear infections I took the opportunity to knit one of my favourite shrug patterns, &quot;Kaya Easy Cropped Shrug&quot; . You can find it by googling it or on Ravelry. I used 4 skeins of Berocco Peruvia Quick wool color 9177 and dye lot 71575. I purchased it a few weeks ago at London-Wul. I modified it by knitting the body for 8 inches before rib and bind off and I also knit 10 rounds on each sleeve before rib and bind off. This is such a cozy cropped cardigan that is easy to knit and modify. That makes it a great project.Cinnaknitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18316756450845530514noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088232060323380092.post-33438518744120145102017-02-11T18:09:00.001-04:002017-02-11T18:09:09.587-04:00Update<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vXUzVaieILc/WJ-LhqS1DSI/AAAAAAAACNM/C7ZYEHehj98Y_6LXDasUpVsGBj4edcOzgCK4B/s1600/image-749588.jpg"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vXUzVaieILc/WJ-LhqS1DSI/AAAAAAAACNM/C7ZYEHehj98Y_6LXDasUpVsGBj4edcOzgCK4B/s320/image-749588.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_6385976207039860002" /></a></p>Well 2016 was a year of ups and downs. As most years generally are. <div>We had to adjust to my lower income as I now work part time. Of course the benefit is I have more time at home.</div><div>Last year was marked by the lows of my emergency appendectomy last February, my daughter&#39;s sudden illness in March, my sister&#39;s emergency gallbladder surgery on December 23rd and more recently the loss of our beloved 12 year old Old English Sheepdog Barclay.</div><div> The year was also marked with some wonderful highs as well. All three of us recovered nicely and are doing well. The few summer days spent with my Mother and two sister&#39;s at the cottage. Being adopted by our kitty Whisper. The Maritime Spinning retreat on PEI with my daughter and all the wonderful people we see annually. I am also blessed with the fellowship of the knitting, spinning and rug hooking groups I enjoy.</div><div> The three pairs of socks are basic toe ups I knit.

Thanks to Lori Rhone of Deerfield Creations for posting that awesome video. Actually I purchased an apple support spindle at my very first retreat and have never been able to use it successfully. Now I am able to use it and the numerous other support spindles I own. I'm not very good at it as of yet but at least I am able to spin on them to create a variety of yarns from cotton, camel, yak, excetera.<br />&nbsp; &nbsp;I haven't been knitting much as it's been way to hot. I'm almost ready to knit the heel portion of a pair of toe-up-socks that I've neglected since this spring.<br />&nbsp; &nbsp;I want to thank Heidi Wulfraat for the use of her wonderful cotton hand carders. Thanks so much Heidi and I'll see you on Thursday.<br />&nbsp; &nbsp;I'll see everyone else this Wednesday evening the 20th of July from 6-8pm at Reads in Riverview for our usual knitting clutch.<br />&nbsp; &nbsp;Right now I must get ready to go out to eat with hubby. We are celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary.<br />CinnaCinnaknitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18316756450845530514noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088232060323380092.post-13615314863982295832016-06-22T15:44:00.001-03:002016-06-22T15:44:28.026-03:00Wooly Mason Jar Dye WorkshopLast Wednesday I had the good fortune to attend a dye workshop at <a href="http://thewoolworks.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">London Wul</a>. Hosted by owner Heidi Wulfraat and given by&nbsp;Lucy Richard creator of <a href="http://www.thewoolymasonjar.com/" target="_blank">The Wooly Mason Jar Color Wheel Dyeing</a>&nbsp;. Lucy is a proficient rug hooker&nbsp;and her workshop is wonderful. It's a full day and you leave knowing&nbsp; that you can do this at home. The technique is great for dyeing wool fabric, yarn, roving and jersey. Lucy explains and demonstrates everything with great knowledge, humor and enthusiasm. I actually understand the color wheel now. Lucy calls it the color clock. With her method you get the same results every time. It's amazing.<br />&nbsp; If you always wanted to dye wool, yarn or&nbsp;roving for rug hooking, knitting, crochet, spinning or crafting this is a must do workshop.<br />Cinna<br />Cinnaknitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18316756450845530514noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088232060323380092.post-51846760485403476472016-06-22T15:18:00.002-03:002016-06-22T15:18:36.438-03:00Baby ProjectsHi to everyone. Yes I still exist and yes I knit.<br />It's been hectic since my last post as my DD was quite ill in early March and had surgery in early June.<br />&nbsp; A fellow co-worker and friend had her baby shower on June 3rd and I managed to make her little one a few things. She's having a boy very soon now.<br />&nbsp; I knit one of my favorite all time baby cardigans. Debbie Bliss' <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ribbed-baby-jacket" target="_blank">Ribbed Baby Jacket</a> in size 3 to 6 months. I used Lionbrand, Cotton Ease, colour#110 Lake. I knit a basic baby hat to match.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yz_Kv7fuEfo/V2rLZY7Al0I/AAAAAAAACGM/96NEtQ0ZX6UPhUrs9s-eh2ErzgdCemxXwCLcB/s1600/IMG_6003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yz_Kv7fuEfo/V2rLZY7Al0I/AAAAAAAACGM/96NEtQ0ZX6UPhUrs9s-eh2ErzgdCemxXwCLcB/s320/IMG_6003.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>&nbsp;I found this simple and lovely&nbsp;crocheted baby blanket pattern and made one using super soft&nbsp;Bernat handicrafter cotton in Off White and Robin Egg. It really is super soft. The pattern is by April Bennett with&nbsp; Cuddle Me Beanies,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ribbed-baby-jacket" target="_blank">Chevron Baby Blanket</a>.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aVMaGFR0EfU/V2rLcsfDHCI/AAAAAAAACGU/PgQ3kkzbHR0p-zoJOhF3C3RaGai_xidpwCLcB/s1600/IMG_6004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aVMaGFR0EfU/V2rLcsfDHCI/AAAAAAAACGU/PgQ3kkzbHR0p-zoJOhF3C3RaGai_xidpwCLcB/s320/IMG_6004.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>&nbsp;I found a few patterns on Pinterest to sew up as well out of jersey knit and cotton knit fabrics. The pants are called "just hatched baby leggings" from <a href="http://made-by-rae.com/" target="_blank">made-by-rae.com</a> . They are super cute and if I'd had more blue cotton knit fabric in plain or patterned I'd have made more. The hat pattern I also found on Pinterest and is the "Knotted Infant Cap" from <a href="http://www.makesewbaby.com/infant-cap.html" target="_blank">Make Sew Baby.</a> The t-shirt was a onsie pattern and I'm sorry I can't remember who it belonged to.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-okxdpi1f8Pk/V2rLevEWYDI/AAAAAAAACGc/epPX4vVT3pgHWEsLe6bKV-d_N6MHLkXRQCLcB/s1600/IMG_6005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-okxdpi1f8Pk/V2rLevEWYDI/AAAAAAAACGc/epPX4vVT3pgHWEsLe6bKV-d_N6MHLkXRQCLcB/s320/IMG_6005.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>&nbsp;The same Chevron Baby Blanket as above done in Berocco Vintage for my Great Nephew Hunter.

I did use a bit of my handspun and a smidge of glitter. It is 7inches by 27.5 inches. It depicts myself and my two older sisters when we were little girls. My eldest sister&nbsp;on the lead&nbsp;bike&nbsp;has a basket with our little dog Trixie Bell. My middle sister's bike sports a cool light and I'm bringing up the3 rear trying to catch up. &nbsp;It took me two months to complete.<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uOwpL3vopbA/Vy58NwYnkyI/AAAAAAAACEo/5QSCt9GJjVsbB1Zp85lzbRJngiwgbM4kACLcB/s1600/foyer%2Brug.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uOwpL3vopbA/Vy58NwYnkyI/AAAAAAAACEo/5QSCt9GJjVsbB1Zp85lzbRJngiwgbM4kACLcB/s320/foyer%2Brug.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Fantasy Crewel Floral</td></tr></tbody></table><br />This is&nbsp;my foyer rug. I used a #8 cut wool. The background is a very dark purple and the beauty line separates it from the black outer border. It's quite a large rug being 36 inches by 74.75 inches and it took me almost a year to complete from the day I designed it until completion.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IEZmBeq42sE/Vy58S1Ez_eI/AAAAAAAACE8/KPRRTbBhXWY24Cr28FYo4yNSliND3BXVgCKgB/s1600/abstract%2B4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IEZmBeq42sE/Vy58S1Ez_eI/AAAAAAAACE8/KPRRTbBhXWY24Cr28FYo4yNSliND3BXVgCKgB/s320/abstract%2B4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">&nbsp;</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The above is a <a href="https://martinalesar.com/" target="_blank">Martina Lesar</a>&nbsp;pattern called Abstract 4.
